Before going to bed on Christmas Eve, when we got home from Paw-Paw's and Grangie's house, I first had to go put out my Reindeer Food (crushed shredded wheat cereal). Mrs. Lindsay gave me a bag of Reindeer Food at our Play-n-Pray Christmas Party. I sprinkled it aaaaallllllllllll over our front yard. I walked around with the bag saying "A little bit here, a little bit over there, some right here...." Then I went inside to get Santa's snack ready, since the reindeer were taken care of. A few days before, I helped Mommy make some cookies. So I grabbed one of my plates, climbed on my stool, and chose three cookies for Santa. Then I got out my Curious George cup, grabbed the milk from the fridge, and helped Mommy pour some in the cup. I put it all on the stool by the fireplace, ready for Santa's visit. And off to bed I went. (Madeline was already asleep!)
When I woke up, Madeline was already up. Mommy and Daddy were up, too, and fresh homemade cinnamon rolls were baking in the oven. Grangie, Paw-Paw Mike, Parin, and Aunt Emmy had all just arrived for breakfast. (Everyone thought I'd be up earlier, considering my anticipation for Santa's visit!) I came down the hall and went straight to the front door! After all, I had to see if the reindeer had eaten all the food I'd sprinkled around for them. I couldn't find any - they ate it all!!
Then Mommy told me to look in the living room. And there it was.... a big new train set complete with a green locomotive! Santa had brought my 'green choo-choo train' I'd been asking for! There were some wrapped gifts, too. A remote control Thomas engine for my trainset at Grangie's and Paw-Paw Mike's house and some track switches as well.
Madeline got her very own pink and purple suitcase -- now her clothes don't have to go in my suitcase! And she got some new clothes, a Glo Worm, and a piggy bank!
We got stuff in our new stockings, too! Madeline got pacifiers, socks, some rattles and teething toys, and a Madeline doll. I got socks, big boy underwear, some puzzles, Pez candies, a train Pez dispenser, and some train bath toys.
Christmas morning was so much fun!
